Unable to play a slideshow
I have Quicktime Pro and have placed my .jpg images into a folder. Opened the Quicktime Player and selected "Open Image Sequence" from the file menu. When I open my folder and select a picture along with time for each frame I should get a dialoge box that imports the movie. Instead I get only the picture that I selected.
why?
John, welcome to these discussions.
The image files must be sequentially named (1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.) and the same dimensions.
The import image sequence should work like this:
Open QuickTime Player Pro and choose "Open Image Sequence".
Navigate to the folder of images and highlight (single click) on the first image in the folder.
Click OK and you should get a new dialog window asking you to set a "Frame Rate". Pick from the menu and your new "movie" should be created.

Aperture unable to play slideshows since updating to Yosemite and 3.6
Hi,
I updated yesterday to Yosemite and to Aperture 3.6 accordingly, and Aperture has been unable to play slideshows since then. It crashes abruptly whenever trying to play a slideshow from a project (though NOT from an album - weird). Same happens on iPhoto.
Any similar experience anyone ?
Best regards to all,Hi Leonie (and Frank),
Tried Frank Caggiano's options : it turns out the problem did NOT occur under another user. It did not occur either when creating a new library. In that new library, I stuffed a project with some 270 raw photos (those from one of the very projects that caused Aperture to crash under my usual library) and launched a slideshow from that project ==> no problem.
So my guess is that something went awry with my usual library. Do not know how I could fix that.
Hereunder the crash log (50-some first lines) I got in the report after Aperture crashed.
Many thanks again to both of you for your helpful insight.

Unable to play movie in iphoto 08
Ever since installing Snow Leopard (the bane of my life!) I have been unable to play the movies that I have imported to iphoto 08 from my camera. No previous problems.
Start the install process with the Snow Leopard disc and look for a Customize button in one of the first windows, probably right after the language selection window. It will be similar to the Customize button in this screenshot:
Click to view full size
Click on it and you will be able to select just what you want to install.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete. -
Unable to play recorded video using BB multimedia api in other platform
Hi all,
I am new to Blackberry application development. The application I am developing it is required to record a video using multimedia api.
I am using
video encoding : MPEG-4
audio encoding : AMR
res : 320 x 240
Device using Curve 8250
It is the same encoding combination BB curve use to record a video from default recorder.
_player = Manager
.createPlayer("capture://video?encoding=video/3gpp&width=320&height=240&fps=12&video_codec=MPEG-4&audio_codec=AMR");
After recording it from my application I am able to play the video in vlc even in BB devices. But when I am trying toplay in android,J2ME and iPhone platform. It is unable to play the video..Can anybody help me out in this regard.
I am really in trouble. I need your help .
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
AnganIn my experience if windows media player plays it(the mpeg4), it will not be compatiable with quicktime. At least if you do not go installing the codecs to read ISO mpeg 4 (.mp4 is the standard extension that quicktime puts on the files). Another thing to check is if you are creating ISO compliant files. The mpeg4s that windows media reads by default are not ISO compliant. You also need to keep in mind that Quicktime is a simple profile mp4 and main profile mp4 player (although not all b frames are compatable with quicktime). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicktime for a basic overview of the profile support. I suggest that you try playing the media with free softwares such as vlc http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ and mplayer http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html and check that the format and codecs are correct. Although they will play non standard files they will list the codecs in use (make sure that you are using ISO compliant standards as you can put more than MPEG 4 in mp4).

Unable to Play facebook video
All videos on Facebook are h.264 encoded so they don't need flash. Don't spread false information, iPad safari can play Facebook videos since last year. I used to play them without an issue on my iPad but I guess the latest software update screwed that up.
http://www.intomobile.com/2010/04/27/facebook-enables-ipad-friendly-video-playba ck/
The link says videos uploaded on Facebook are encoded in iPad friendly format, YouTube videos are already iPad friendly so you should be able to play most videos on Facebook on your iPad safari. -
Unable to play Cineform avi files in Premiere Pro CS3
I am using Cineform NeoHD version 5.3.2 to convert the MXF files from my Canon XF300 into Cineform AVI.
Then I import these AVI files into Premiere Pro CS3 and here is where the problem begins.
Premiere is unable to play these Cineform files. All I get is about a second of audio, and a still frame of the video. This happens both in the source window, and also on the timeline.
The Cineform AVI files play perfectly fine when using Virtualdub for playback, but Windows media player behave just like Premiere.
Everything worked fine a week ago. Premiere appeared to use something called "ffdshow" to play the Cineform files, and I could edit without any trouble.
A few days ago, when I tried the same, that's when the problems came. Whenever I hit Play button in Premiere, a popup window came up, saying Premiere wanted to use ffdshow, and the options was "never", "no once", "yes once", "yes always".
When everything worked a week ago, I had to use the "yes always" option.
Now, it does not matter which option I use, Premiere will not play the Cineform files.
I did not make any changes to my computer between the day everything was okay, and when the problem appeared.
A Cineform representative suggested "ffdshow" is the troublemaker, so I uninstalled ffdshow and removed any traces of it I could find, but the same problem still exist.
Then I uninstalled Cineform NeoHD
Uninstalled and reinstalled Production Premium CS3 suite
Reinstalled Cineform NeoHD
Still same problem, nothing has changed.
It does not matter if I use 50i or 25p source files.
My system: (Laptop)
Windows Vista ultimate 64-bit
Intel 2,66GHz quad core CPU
4GB ram
Nvidia Geforce 8800M GTX
3x internal 7200rpm harddrives set up with raid-0
Anyone else experiencing this?
Any ideas what might be wrong?dont know , but this stuff might fix your prob.. overwrite whatever ffdshow screwed up...
cfrepair utility:

cineform codec (neo player)
http://estore.cineform.com/NeoPlayer.aspx
never used the cfrepair thing..but did install neoplayer which gave me the codec to use cs3 with cf raw files ( sample of cf raw at the si 2k site -- avi ext )
ps.... to keep overhead down on my computer I took the resulting cineform "player" out of my startup directory....as it wants to run in background when you install it...no need for that for my purpose of just getting the codec -
Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?
Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck! -

How do i connect my computer to my tv to play iphoto slideshow please?
Hi,
I have a Macbook and was hoping to connect it to my tv ports to play a slideshow on the tv. Not sure what type of cable to use and where to plug in? It is a HDTV with HDMI so wondered if maybe I should connect to the stereo system itself. I also tried making a CD slideshow aand play it on my dvd player.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.If your TV has a memory card slot try exporting your slideshow as a QT movie file, put it on the memory card and try that.

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro
I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like"). -
how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.
If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
if ims is {} then return {}
if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
if i < 2 then return rest of ims
if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
set numitems to length of ims
if length of ims < 2 then return ims
set ims_shuffled to {}
set nextrest to ims
repeat until nextrest is {}
set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
set nextpick to item i of nextrest
set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
set numitems to numitems - 1
set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
end repeat
return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
local imageSel, shuffled, i
tell application "Aperture"
activate
set imageSel to (get selection)
set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
set fullscreen to true
if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
end repeat
set fullscreen to false
return shuffled
end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
tell library 1
if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
end if
end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
end repeat

Unable to play more than 1 song at a time
I have been using iTunes on my desktop for years without much trouble. I usually place it on shuffle and let it go. Suddenly, today I am unable to play anything more than 1 song at a time. It no longer will go on to the next song either in shuffle or continuous play. Using the forward or backward button does not work, either. I have to select a song one at a time.
I don't know if this thing is really screwed up or if somebody in the house changed a setting that I just can't figure out.Did you by any chance uncheck the the boxes beside any or all of the songs in the library? Unchecked songs won't play in a playlist or the library unless you select them individually: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs
